#same body same identity

[laatmaar]

You know I do wonder if there’s any (or rather how many) sidestep out there who is both in relationship with dr. Mortum and doing the entire love triangle with yourself and ortega thing, mostly because it amuses me to think about all the realizations Ortega has to go through if they ever do find out about the entire puppet situation.

Like first you find out your situationship has been puppeteering a comatose body around ( <- INSANE didn’t know they could do that)

Then you need to not only deal with the fact that they chose to date you while inhabiting said brain dead body, (Even if you can deal with the messed up ethics, what are you even supposed to make of that?) but they were also jealous of themself(themselves?)????

But moving past all that they were also cheating on you the entire time.

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

The one where Bruce is the asshole (again)

So! We have a typical story where the JLA finds out about the Situation in Amity.

Whichever way they find out doesn't matter, but either way they end up sending Batman to do a threat analysis and review of whether this requires their attention.

And while there, he runs into a Kid who obviously needs to be saved from his Abusive Home. Look at him, he's far too thin, his grades are horrible, he has many unexcused absences, and he has bruises hidden under his clothes.

Even after figuring out that Danny is Phantom the local Hero, he thinks Danny needs to be saved from his Parents.

I mean, it's plain to see! They Hates Ghosts with a Passion, negelct their son very often, shoot at him nearly every day, and are probably the ones who killed him in the first place!

So, with no input from Danny himself, Bruce calls CPS on the Fentons and uses his Wealth to expedite the process and avoid the actual Investigation. (I mean, why would you even need one? It's so obviously a bad home!)

The Fenton's are arrested, and Bruce reveals that Danny is Phantom to convince the Courts that they are horrible people for shooting at their own son, and that they should be locked up (ignoring the horrified looks on their faces, probably cause they were living with a Ghost for so long, thats probably why).

He immediately offers to adopt Danny, even when Danny vehemently refuses his offer. He knows that Danny will come around to it, he's doing this for his own good. He still thinks his Parents were good people, and not thr Villains they really were.

Meanwhile Danny's life has been completely uprooted thanks to the self-righteous machinations of an Adoption Crazed Fruitloop! And not even the usual one!

Sure his parents were often busy with their work, but they Always set aside time to hang out with their kids and make sure they were okay. They never abused him, the neglect was only for like a month or two when the portal before they got their act together and apologized for it, and (most importantly) THEY DIDN'T KNOW he was a Halfa when they shot at him! They only found out when the ASSHOLE revealed his Identity in Court!

And Danny is Extra enraged by that part. The Adoption Crazed Fruitloop had revealed his secret identity for the ENTIRE WORLD TO HEAR!

He would never be able to live a normal life anymore, even if he managed to get away from the Moron who caused all this!

Bruce Wayne was a Villain in his eyes.

He ripped him from his home and from his family (basically kidnapped), revealed his identity to the world so he was forced to stay with him for fear of the GIW, and spun the whole story so that it looked like he was the Good Guy in this!?

It was official. Danny Hates Bruce Wayne, possibly more than anyone else in the World.

And that's a High Bar.

Arcana is so trans to me but not the mtf trans but like eldritch horror being realized that she likes to be perceived as a mortal woman

nonnie we are holding hands, we share the same vision, the same dream, the same eldritch transgenderism <3

there was a tweet recently (I think it was a tweet?) about a very specific type of character design--non sexualized, nude humanoids presented as otherwordly and entirely alien, off kilter, merging monstruous characteristics and that's exactly what I love and think about when it comes to the thing Arcana summons, the Guiding One's Creation

Arcana is so transgender to me in a very specific way of using the feminine figure as a way of both luring and keeping everyone at bay <33333

as much of a fan as i am of arthur falling head over heels for merlin in the lower town during their fight and knowing the entire time while merlin reluctant to admit he actually finds arthur sometimes pleasant to be around until like a year later when he's like "fuck i kinda like him as more than a friend" when he's actually in love with him,,, the alternative has been plaguing my mind recently.

merlin is like "aw man he sucks but destiny is destiny" until like around the poisoned chalice when merlin drinks the wine and falls unconscious and he's wondering to himself why he would do such a thing and like yeah nimueh probably cursed it so he would drink it but also he's not really that upset about it?? he's kinda relieved??? why???????? oh bc arthur didn't drink it so he's fine and alive and oh he's checking up on me and his voice is soft and not at all mocking or brash like normal and his hand is on my shoulder and my heart is racing and i'm blushing and his touch is so warm and- oh fuck. so merlin is like reluctant about feeling this way but makes his peace with it, hoping that one day it'll just fizzle out. but the thing is: it doesn't. merlin continues to fall deeper and deeper in love with arthur and it just becomes a part of him like his magic. it's a simple fact. he has blue eyes, he has black hair, he has magic, he's in love with arthur. it becomes intertwined with his very being and he can't imagine ever not loving arthur.

meanwhile, arthur is fond and protective of him idiotic, bumbling servant. he's also a good friend not that arthur would ever call him that but anyways arthur keeps him safe bc if it weren't for him, the fool would trip over air and impale himself on his own thumb. so arthur grows more fond and protective of merlin as the series progresses and yeah at some point he finds it in himself to murmur the word friend to merlin but he blames that on the wine and the late hour. then he finds out merlin has magic and it hurts. arthur isn't entirely sure why either but he knows it hurts to be around merlin, to hear him, to see him, but it also hurts to be apart. so he swallows it all down and sits with merlin to lay it all out. anyway time skip and he sees merlin as he truly is without all the hiding and lying and the fondness and protectiveness just continues to grow and grow and grow. he watches merlin cast spells and watches his eyes light up gold and gods isn't he just beautiful. no wait- okay he's in love and gods is he fucked because now he can't managed a damn sentence around the man and morning and evenings are torturous in the best way. merlin bodily dragging him out of bed, his touch never leaving as he strips him of his night clothes and dresses him for the day and sits him down at the table before sharing stealing his breakfast. at night he's much slower as he strips arthur, his fingers dragging across his skin and his words spoken low and soft. the sweet heat in his blood isn't new but the force of it almost knocks him on his ass.

just merlin being his usual enamored self while arthur is flooded with these feelings he couldn't name before but now that he knows just what they are, they lodge in his throat and block his words from escaping him, they block air from filling his lungs, and they keep blood from flowing through his brain. arthur shutting down while merlin is oblivious and concerned and pressing his hands to arthur's face and pulse and leaning in close and asking all these questions as his eyes shine with worry and this isn't helping-

disaster!arthur x oblivious!merlin is actually my new favorite dynamic. forget what i said at the beginning. this is it.

For the last day of pride month: sea salt family!

[dangansins-confessional]

I think this fandom has to admit Kamukura and Hinata are not different people, and Kamukoma is just Komahina at one point of their long history together idk

It feels very Erasing The Entire Point of Hajiems character when Izuru is treated as an entirely separate entity when HE'S NOT!!

I dont know im just very passionate about Hinata Hajime. I had to say something 😇

oooh the sequence of on-stage female disrobings in the oresteia, one in each play-- cassandra casting off her prophet's robe and priestly emblems in the agamemnon, clytemnestra baring her breast to orestes in the libation bearers, and the erinyes exchanging their monstrous regalia for the red robes of their new identity as the eumenides... it's not explicit in the text of the eumenides that they take anything off but they are discarding one identity in order to assume a new one that they put on as a garment, and even if they don't take off any part of their fury-costume it's still such a way to reverse and resolve the two disrobings in the earlier plays

Eve: "Regarding the lyrics, this time its about portraying the conflicts and feelings of the characters in Jujutsu kaisen. This kind of feeling inside me, made me choose the characters one by one and thus write the lyrics. I don't dare to say where or who..."

Also Eve:

Alternative translations: 1 2 3 4

The lyrics hit different after ch 271. I kinda want this to be the op for s4 ngl

vanny stalking you and getting so mad seeing how many people are just throwing themselves at you

when you get back to your apartment vanessa is suddenly different. she pounces on you, just fucking you silly and rougher than ever. you don't understand what's gotten into her but you can't exactly ask her when you're being fucked dumb, feeling your brain getting fuzzier by the minute when she pins you down with her body and starts rutting into you while moaning "mine mine mine" in your ear over and over again

ENGLISH IS NOT MY FIRST LANGUAGUE, ALSO I'M DYSLEXIC

SORRY IN ADVANCE !!!

Ok but handmaidens would have to be confusing at least a little for little Luke and Leia. There are like 12 other moms but none of them are mom????

by the time the twins are born, I think most the Handmaidens have been apart from Padmé long enough to look and act pretty uniquely -- but most is not all, and Sabé canonically keeps looking so much like Padmé that Vader thinks she is Padmé LOL soo... realistically it makes sense the twins confused beyond belief about at least ONE of their several mom-but-not-moms

that being said they are 2 of the strongest force users like Ever so Padmé might be really anxious about her kids thinking the wrong é is their mum, but thanks to baby force vibe checks, they literally never get confused loll. either way its very fun

Am I the only one who feminism is kinda idk like exclusionary?

i feel like by focusing solely women's rights (cis white women in particular) it kinda leaves behind those who also suffer under patriarchy (i.e. gnc transwomen, enby people, men, poc people etc.)

I say this because at least in the West, cis white women have been at the forefront of the movement since it's start back in the the 1910s with the suffragettes fighting for the right for women to vote Specifically WHITE CIS women, women of color were not included.

And don't even get me started on terfs

I feel like we need a new more inclusive movement that includes everyone who's suffered under patriarchy not JUST Women.

some elaboration on Pokemon AU, toying with ghost’s design a lil and tossing in some extra designs (now with lore!)

as you can see, the vessels are fucked up little ghost-types. probably not the most fucked up ghost-type pokedex entries out there, tho.

Regarding church being an unreliable narrator/Tex not being the ai for failure. I always interpreted church saying that not as the director but as a fragment of alpha. Like he knows this because he and Tex are parts of the same person and he knows how she feels because thats a piece of him, just like how he has access to other fragments (theta, delta, all of them pretty much actually) by virtue of being epsilon, the memories of alpha. when i say that he knows how Tex feels, i mean tex NOT Allison. Alpha knows Allison the same as the director does, but epsilon would know Tex more than the director, because Tex is the fragment of alpha and he has all the memories of alpha. I always saw the way he talked about her failures as really personal.

Like to me this sounds like how Tex herself would put it. it reminds me of the scene in the directors room where epsilon gets so emotional he starts switching between fragments. Epsilon was seperate from those fragments but he felt their anger.

I do think there is some merit to the failure thing not being entirely true (are Tex's feelings subjective? Are her standards for failure something the director instilled in her? If she was the fragment for failure could she outgrow it, like how delta is capable of expressing emotions that arent logical?), but if what Church said here doesn't encapsulate how Tex feels then I dont understand why she'd avoid him in the memory unit when he was trying to save her.
